(Highly effective contraceptive measures are methods that can achieve a failure rate of less than 1% per year. These include: intrauterine devices, hormonal contraceptives associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, implants, transdermal patches, hormonal vaginal devices or injections with prolonged release). A vasectomised partner or sexual abstinence may be regarded as highly effective methods, if this is the usual and preferred lifestyle of the subject. Sterilised or infertile subjects are exempt from the requirement to use contraception. In order to be considered sterile or infertile, subjects must generally have undergone surgical sterilisation (vasectomy/bilateral salpingectomy, hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy) or be postmenopausal defined as 12 months or more with no menses prior to enrolment. Double-barrier methods (condom+cervical cap with spermicide) are not considered highly effective)
